About the book: Release Date July 26 , 2014

He spent more than a thousand years imprisoned in Hell…

Drake is an ancient dragon shifter, one of the most powerful beings in existence, but over a millennium trapped in utter darkness has left him ill-equipped for modern society. If it wasn’t for Victoria, the sweet female brave enough to befriend him, he’d be lost. She’s smart and gorgeous and everything he never dared dream of during his years of agonizing loneliness. He may not have anything to offer her, but one thing he knows for sure: he’d die to keep her safe.

Only to fall into the heaven of her touch.

Victoria is a wolf shifter, healer of the Stavros pack. She’s seen a lot, but she’s never met anybody quite like Drake, the fiery, fascinating shifter who can blaze through the skies unseen by mere mortals. He’s lost, dangerous, and the last male she should fall in love with, but the more time she spends helping him navigate modern life, the deeper—and hotter—their connection becomes. She’s thrilled when they finally locate his family, but reuniting with his people plunges them both into unimaginable danger. It’s a race against the clock trying to figure out who wants them dead and who they can trust, especially when the threat is closer than they ever imagined.

•••••••••••••••••

Review: TASTE OF DARKNESS is the second instalment in Katie Reus’s adult, contemporary DARKNESS paranormal romance series. This is dragon shifter Drake and wolf shifter/healer Victoria’s storyline. We were first introduced to Victoria and Drake in Darkness Awakened where Drake was revealed asVega’s protector in Hell. Although TASTE OF DARKNESS is the second book in the series, it can be read as a stand alone.

Drake is a dragon shifter who has spent over one thousand years in Hell. Captured and tortured as a young boy Drake has no memory of the years before his imprisonment. He has no recollection of family, friends or how he ended up trapped with no way of escape. Following his rescue, along side Vega, Drake finds himself attracted to one of his rescuers –a wolf shifter from the Stavros pack named Victoria and the woman who would one day be his mate.

Drake is a dragon who has spent over a millennia in Hell and is unaware of what it is like to be a dragon with a mate. While he worries about the rituals of courtship and claiming, someone else is desperately trying to destroy Drake’s happiness –one dragon/one wolf at a time. As Drake and his new found family begin to research the history of the dragon, Victoria will find herself the object of another’s obsession.

The relationship between Drake and Victoria is sensual, seductive and slow to build as Drake is unsure of himself in the relationship department. He is a man who believes he is not worthy of a mate and must prove that he is a capable male of providing and protecting the woman that he loves.

We are introduced to a number of secondary characters including Drake’s siblings, extended family and a host of enemy clans who are all vying for control. With the introduction of several new dragons, there appears to be several potential matings on the horizon.

Katie Reus adds another imaginative and intense storyline to her repertoire of romantic paranormal novels. TASTE OF DARKNESS takes the reader on a passionate journey, a captivating love story, and an entertaining view of life as a paranormal shifter.

Release Date: August 5, 2014
Genre: adult, contemporary, suspense, action, romance

Bound to Danger Aug 14

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble / KOBO / The Book Depository

RELEASE DATE: August 5, 2014

At a benefit dinner, community activist Maria Cervantes overhears two men plotting a terrorist attack that could rock Miami to its core. But before she can alert authorities, she’s almost killed in a massive explosion—and wakes up in a hospital with no memory of what happened. As the sole survivor of the attack, she is now a person of interest to the NSA—and especially to Agent Cade O’Reilly. Because Maria is the one woman Cade has never been able to forget.

Years ago, they were closer than either was willing to admit—until Cade disappeared when Maria needed him most. Now he’s sticking by her, whether she likes it or not. Because the memories locked inside her mind could hold vital clues to the next attack. Because terrorists want her dead—and because he never wants to let her go again.

•••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: BOUND TO DANGER is the second release in Katie Reus’s adult, contemporary romance Deadly Ops action/suspense series focusing on a group of Special Ops agents. Although it is the second storyline in the series, it can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. This is community activist Maria Cervantes and NSA agent Cade O’Reilly’s storyline.

The premise focuses on a terrorist attack at a local mansion where the rich and famous had gathered. The only survivor is Maria Cervantes and the NSA wants to know why and what she knows. Enter Cade O’Reilly-Maria’s brother’s former commander in Afghanistan-and the man that walked out of Maria’s life eight years earlier. BOUND TO DANGER is a second chance storyline that places Maria in the line of fire when the terrorist cell that perpetrated the explosion set their sights on other targets including Maria. How much does Maria know and how did she survive the explosion?

The relationship between Maria and Cade is a friends to lovers/second chance story. Maria and Cade became email ‘pen pals’ while Cade was stationed in Afghanistan with Maria’s brother Riel. As the lone survivor of a rescue mission that went horribly wrong, Cade has had to deal with the guilt for eight years-and in doing so, walked out of Maria’s life without any explanation as to why. Now that Maria has been targeted and questioned, Cade’s protective alpha side wants Maria safe so that he can rekindle what was started years before.

The secondary characters include the members of the terrorist organization, their intended victims, and the men and women who serve in the NSA. Jack Stone from TARGETED (Deadly Ops #1) joins Cade and the team in Miami which gives the series a sense of cohesion and familiarity.

Katie Reus has the amazing ability of pulling the reader onto the front lines of the action and drama. BOUND TO DANGER is a fast paced, intelligent and spirited story of suspense, mystery, intrigue and murder. We watch as two people are pulled closer together by their wants, their needs and their building love. It is a story of heartbreak and grief; friendship and love; betrayal and revenge. What goes on behind closed doors will become the catalyst for an organization that wants revenge for acts so revolting, that anyone who stands in their way will become fair game in an international war.

ebook only .99cents: Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble / KOBO /

Can also be found in the anthology SINFUL SECONDS: Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble / KOBO /

RELEASE DATE:

March 17, 2014-in the Sinful Seconds anthology

May 1, 2014- as a single release

He’ll do anything to protect her….

Former Marine and newest Red Stone Security employee Alexander Blue is still adjusting to the civilian world after a decade spent at war, but when he sees someone in danger, nothing can take away that intrinsic need to protect. After stopping a would-be mugger, Blue finds himself being bandaged up by a sensual local artist in her Key West condo. He never expected to stay the night, even if it is on her couch. The mysterious Mina gets under his skin in a way he never thought possible. When it becomes clear that her mugging wasn’t random and she’s being targeted by deadly men, Blue has no problem stepping into the role of protector.

But she doesn’t want to be saved

Tired of being coddled and treated like a child, Mina has tried to distance herself from her family. When danger finds her, she’s forced to turn to the sexy stranger who she feels a strong, unexpected connection with. In him she sees glimmers of herself; a little broken, withdrawn and wary of the world. Soon she learns that the biggest threat might not be from the men trying to kidnap her, but from the quiet warrior who poses an immediate risk to her heart.

Sinful Seduction appears in Sinful Seconds anthology

•••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: SINFUL SEDUCTION is the eighth storyline in Katie Reus’s contemporary, romantic Red Stone Security suspense series focusing on the men and women who work for Red Stone Security. This is former marine Alexander Blue and artist Mina Holligsworth’s story which begins with a chance encounter on the streets of Key West. Thwarting an attempted abduction, Alexander will be pulled into the upheaval that is Mina’s life-one she has kept secret for her own safety.

The focus of the storyline is on the search for the people responsible for the attempted abduction of Mina Hollingsworth. Mina’s family history is one right out of the society and financial pages of big business and Mina has become the target of people hoping to get rich-quick. When her security team does not respond, Mina is quick to discover that Alexander and The Red Stone Security Team have placed themselves in danger to protect her life. As the search for the threat continues she will get news that will devastate her life-once again.

The relationship between Mina and Alexander is quick to build-from a street rescue to a declaration of love a matter of one week will pass but not before our couple will discover what it is that each wants in life-to be loved and to fall in love-in this, Mina and Alexander will find their happily ever after. Mina is an independent woman whose success does not depend on finding her other half but when she does, she knows that Alexander is the man for her. The sexual tension is high as Alexander tries not to cross the line but Mina is a woman who knows what she wants-and she wants Alexander.

The world building continues with the inclusion of some of the previous Red Stone Security story characters and the potential for a new employee and storyline. SINFUL SEDUCTION is a story with suspense and mystery; tense moments on the run; and the sinful seduction of two people who meet under less than perfect circumstances. There is loss and heartbreak for a woman whose personal life has been turned upside down but in the end, she will come out ahead with a new direction and someone with whom to share it with.

SWEETEST SURRENDER (The Serafina: Sin City #3) by Katie Reus

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 30, 2014

A woman on the run…

Angel has been on her own for two years, moving from place to place to outrun her past. With no family and few friends to lean on, she’s managed to keep her secrets and stay safe. But when her past suddenly catches up to her, she has a choice to make. Run or stay and claim her life once more.

He’ll stop at nothing to protect her…

Vadim has never let anyone close to him—until Angel. From the first time he met her, everything changed. As a private consultant for Wyatt Christiansen, he’s good with computers and he’s got connections to unearth people’s deepest, darkest secrets. When Angel’s life is threatened Vadim steps in and uses all his resources to end the threat once and for all. As the danger closes in, he lies to her in an effort to protect her, not realizing that even once the threat is eliminated, he might lose her anyway.

••••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: SWEETEST SURRENDER is the third instalment in Katie Reus’s –The Serafina: Sin City contemporary, romantic, suspense series focusing on the men and woman who work and live at the luxury Las Vegas casino The Serafina. Although this is the third book in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone without too much difficulty. This is Angel and Vadim’s story.

Angel has been on the run for two years trying to escape a dark and dangerous past. Working as a waitress at The Serafina’s Cloud 9 restaurant, Angel believes herself to be safe. With few friends and no family, Angel’s true identity and her past had been hidden deep within the anonymity of a fake id. But Angel’s past would soon catch up and begin to affect the people that she has grown to love.

Vadim works high tech security for The Serafina and has been attracted to Angel since the day they met. Five months have passed and his attraction has grown deeper. With Angel’s life in danger, Vadim offers up his house-thus keeping Angel safe and close enough to spark the embers of growing love. It is only a matter of time before friendship turns to love but not before perceived betrayal threaten to push the couple apart.

SWEETEST SURRENDER is a friends to lovers storyline that focuses on the growing relationship between Vadim and Angel as well as the truth behind Angel’s secret life. Written from third person POV reflecting both Angel and Vadim’s side of the story, the world building continues from the previous books with the inclusion of former storyline characters and the familiarity of The Serafina. Angel and Vadim are mature, well rounded characters who fight their mutual attraction but, in the end, know that their HEA will come from the love they have for one another. The characters are likeable; the storyline and series are both captivating and addicting.

Katie Reus knows how to pull the reader into a storyline that is intense, provocative and passionate. You become one with the characters and experience the story and drama-up close and personal.

His eyes ran the length of her, and his jaw tightened. “It’s time to go home, Keel.”
“I agree.”
His eyes nearly disintegrated her they were so hot and intense. “Then tell Mr. Clean to get back in here so I can get these cuffs off, and we can get the hell out of here.”
It was the first time she’d noticed that his hands were behind his back. Restrained. Something stirred inside of her at the thought, but she pushed it away. No. She hadn’t come here to work out her fantasies about Sawyer Black WITH Sawyer Black.
“I’ll go and get him, but only with the understanding that you’re walking out of here and heading home. Alone.”
His eyes narrowed and his lip curled. “Keely, I’ve had enough of this horseshit. You’re going home and there’s nothing else to say about it.”
Reasoning with Sawyer Black had always been a pointless pursuit. There was no one more stubborn or pig headed.
“How old do you think I am?” she asked him.
“Call the asshole back, Keel.”
“How old, Sawyer?” she pressed. Tossing off her embarrassment, she walked toward him, knowing how the movement accentuated her body in the dress she had on.
His gaze raked her before he tore it away and cursed. “I don’t fucking know.”
“Twenty-one.”
“I don’t care. Shit, I don’t care if you’re forty-fucking-five. You don’t belong here. You belong at home, in your room, studying and staying out of trouble.”

 

SINFUL SURRENDER by Elisabeth Naughton
Elisabeth naughtonHe’s been watching her, and now he’s here, in the dimly lit bar of the swanky Vail resort, pretending not to notice her. Songwriter Grace Ryder has never liked the spotlight, but her skin tingles whenever his sexy gaze drifts her way. Only one night will prove whether he’s safety or sin.

Aegis operative Brian Walker’s orders are clear: observe, but don’t touch. Things change, though, the moment the leggy brunette makes him an offer he can’t refuse. Desire leads to seduction, but it comes at a price. Because someone wants her dead, and if Brian’s not careful, his obsession for a woman he never should have touched could get them both killed.

SENSUAL SURRENDER: The Serafina: Sin City Series #2 by Katie Reus

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 3, 2014

I’m ready to move on. Please don’t search for me. Please just let me go.
~Ellie

The note on the kitchen table shatters Jay Wentworth’s world into bits. Ellie is his lover, his soulmate, his best friend…she’s the woman who stood by him through the aftermath of a horrible explosion, the woman he’s planning to propose to. He’d do anything for her…except let her go. With his fierce protectiveness kicked into overdrive, he teams up with Ellie’s Hotel Serafina boss, billionaire Wyatt Christiansen, to find her. Ellie is family at the casino and they take care of their own.

Ellie is devastated when her secret past finally catches up with her. Stupid to think she could bury the mistakes of her youth and find happiness with a good man. Leaving Jay rips her heart to shreds, but it’s the only way she can protect him from the dangerous people she once ran with. And deep down, she fears he’ll never be able to forgive her for hiding her past from him.

The closer Jay gets to the truth about Ellie, the deeper he plunges into danger. He’ll move heaven and earth to save her, but if she can’t trust in Jay’s love it might be too late for both of them.

•••••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: SENSUAL SURRENDER is the second storyline in Katie Reus’s contemporary, adult, romantic, suspense -The Serafina: Sin City Series. The focus of the series is on the men and women who work at the exclusive Las Vegas resort and hotel The Serafina. This is Ellis and Jay’s story. Ellie is the personal assistant to billionaire hotel mogul Wyatt Christiansen and Jay works security at the hotel.

The premise follows Ellie as she is determined to protect the people and the man that she loves from her past. But her past has come calling and Ellie is on the run. Handing in her resignation fuels the curiosity and concern of everyone at the Serafina when Ellie pushes everyone away in search for a solution to a debt that she owes. Ellie’s attempts to right a wrong, set into motion, a series of events that will end in tragedy-one way or another.

The relationship between Ellie and Jay started in a previous storyline. Now lovers and so much more, the sexual heat is strong between the couple; their lovemaking is sensual; but there is still the unspoken question of trust-why hadn’t Ellie come to Jay with her problem?

Katie Reus pulls the reader into a storyline of mystery and suspense; heartbreak and betrayal; getting rich and the bottom line. Sensual Surrender looks at the illegal side of life in Sin City where power and money mean the ultimate control. Ellie is caught between a life with the man that she loves and a life she thought she had left behind.

Sensual Surrender is a welcome addition to The Serafina: Sin City Series. There is a little bit of mystery; a little bit of suspense; and a whole lot of sex and romance rolled into a story where the past meets the present and could very well affect the future.

Avenger's Heat FEb 14

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble / KOBO / The Book Depository

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 4, 2014

To truly have her, he must free her from her dark secret…

Enforcer Erin Flynn has dedicated her life to protecting her kind. But keeping her heart safe from Noah Campbell, the smoking-hot shifter who saved her life last year, is more difficult. The deadly beauty would love to sink into his arms and become his mate, but she knows she can’t—he must never know about her dark past.

When Erin is sent to investigate the disappearances of pregnant shifters in New Orleans, Erin and Noah find themselves involved in a mystery more sinister than anyone expected. And as Erin delves further into the crimes, chilling information about her own past is revealed. The people who wanted her dead in the first place are trying to finish the job, and Noah wants nothing more than to shield her from harm. But can Erin truly trust Noah and let him see the wounded beast she’s hidden for so long?

•••••••••••••••••

REVIEW: AVENGER’S HEAT is the fourth full length storyline in Katie Reus’s contemporary, romance Moon Shifter paranormal series. The premise follows Erin Flynn and Noah Campbell-enforcers for the North American Council of Lupine Shifters-as they are sent to investigate a series of missing pregnant shifters. With the discovery of a dead female whose body appears to have been attacked by vampires, Erin and Noah soon realize that there is more to the missing women than anyone knows.

Katie Reus takes the reader on a tour of New Orleans where the rich and uber-rich of the paranormal realm play a game of power and control. As Erin digs deeper with her first solo mission as lead enforcer, she will discover that the trail begins to lead back to an all too familiar nightmare.

The relationship between Erin and Noah began in a previous storyline where Noah soon realized that Erin was his mate. As the relationship continues to build, so too does the sexual heat and need between shifters. Noah’s inner wolf knows that Erin is their mate, but convincing Erin may be another matter all together.

The world building continues with its connections to the Armstrong-Cordona pack referencing several previous storyline characters as well as developing upon a few secondary stories. There is little to no mention of the Antiparanormal league as Katie takes the series in another direction where fear of retribution and attack against the paranormal species comes from their very own.

Katie Reus continues to write an incredible series with action, suspense, romance and little bit of steamy sex. Her characters are passionate in their need; sensual in their love; and seductive in their heat. Katie pulls the reader into a world of imagination where the lines between reality and fantasy meet.
